Eli was the absolute best!!
We had the best experience with our tour guide Eli in Tanzania. We stayed in Tanzania for 8 nights and it was truly an incredible and wonderful experience. An authentic wildlife experience. The value for the money was absolutely worth it.

Wonderful experience
Wonderful experience! We were able to see lots of animals and get to know a bit of African culture. Eli was an amazing guide who offered us a lot of knowledge and kindfulness. Completely recommended. We visited Serengeti park and Ngorongoro crater spotting a huge variety of animals. African Trekkers offers an exclusive and splendid service, the car was in perfect condition.

Amazing
Exceeding expectations!
African Svannah Trekkers provided excellent support and help from start to finish. This was a very special trip for us and it needed to be just right the African Savannah Trekkers team was extremely responsive and helped us get what we wanted. When we arrived at the airport we were immediately greeted by our guide who took us to our first hotel. The next day we started our 8 day safari with our guide who was absolutely superb; highly knowledgeable, interesting and above all caring and considerate an understanding of all our needs. All the accommodation was very good with several of the lodges being superb with views of elephants, buffalo and other wild animals from the balconies. It was sad to leave but I know we will be back soon.
We would very highly recommend this operator as a great company for a life time safari experience.

Kenya\Tanzania - 10 day Safari with Wildbud and African Savannah
A group of 6 friends had the most wonderful adventure and experience with the above companies. It was absolutely seamless with our exchange of drivers at the Tanzania land border. Eli from African Savannah was there helping with immigration, had a boxed lunch for us and made sure our Hot Air Balloon tickets were confirmed. We were looked after from the flight landing in Nairobi to boarding our flight to Zanzibar. Leah from Wildbud and Philomena from African Savannah were absolutely fantastic. We were so well looked after. Thank you.
Safari in Tanzania
I went to Tanzania this summer for a safari. I really enjoyed being surrounded by nature and was delighted to see some of Africa's most famous animals. Thanks to Elisante, who drove for miles without ever getting tired.

Seamless transition to the Tanzanian portion of our Safari
Seamless Transition to Tanzania with African Savannah Trekkers — A Perfect Second Chapter to Our Safari
We originally booked our entire 9-day Kenya-Tanzania safari through Estleon Travel based in Nairobi, and they handled everything beautifully. For the Tanzania portion of our journey, Estleon subcontracted with African Savannah Trekkers, run by Eli, who became our guide and companion for the final leg of our adventure. The transition between operators was seamless, and the quality of care, knowledge, and professionalism we experienced in Tanzania was truly outstanding.
Eli met us at the border crossing between Kenya and Tanzania after our time in the Masai Mara. While the drive from the Mara into the Serengeti was long and included some delays (common in East Africa), once we were in Eli’s hands, things ran smoothly and felt fully customized to our needs as a family of five. Eli is not only a skilled and experienced safari guide, but also a deeply considerate host — attentive to logistics, sensitive to our pacing preferences, and incredibly informative.
We explored Serengeti National Park, Ngorongoro Crater, and spent a night near Arusha. Eli was a fantastic spotter and deeply knowledgeable about both the animals and their behaviors. Some of the wildlife highlights included:
• A leopard actively hunting
• A pride of lionesses with cubs resting and playing in the grasslands
• Elephants, buffalo, giraffes, and countless species of antelope
• The family’s new favorite: the dik-dik, a miniature antelope the size of a small dog!
Eli was also flexible with our schedule. We did all the morning and evening game drives except one afternoon, which we spent relaxing at the lodge pool — a welcome break after so many action-packed days. He always made sure we were comfortable, fed, and happy — from finding great picnic spots to bathroom breaks and snack runs. His presence was calming and reassuring, and he handled every request with patience and warmth.
Our accommodations during this stretch were top-notch:
• Serena Serengeti Lodge had spectacular hilltop views, comfortable bungalows, and a peaceful atmosphere.
• Our final night at Oldeani Mountain Lodge near Ngorongoro was possibly the most luxurious of the entire trip — we had our own standalone villa with outdoor shower and sweeping views.
We spent about half a day in the Ngorongoro Crater, and it was easily one of the most surreal and beautiful landscapes we’ve ever seen. Watching two lions defend a kill from a pack of hyenas was a moment we’ll never forget. We would’ve loved an extra day there — the crater is breathtaking and packed with wildlife.
Eli’s company, African Savannah Trekkers, delivered a truly world-class experience. Though we didn’t originally book directly with him, we’re incredibly glad Estleon partnered with someone of his caliber. Eli’s thoughtful leadership, cultural insights, and dedication to guest experience made the Tanzanian leg of our safari unforgettable.
If you’re booking a Tanzania safari, whether independently or through a larger agency like Estleon, we wholeheartedly recommend African Savannah Trekkers. Eli’s personal touch and deep experience elevated our trip to something beyond a vacation — it was an experience we will carry with us for life!

Very efficient and lovely
Even Better the Second Time Around!
I first visited Tanzania a few years ago and did a safari with African Savannah Trekkers. It was such an unforgettable experience that I promised myself I’d come back—and I finally did in May, this time bringing a group of friends with me for a 7-day safari.
Once again, the team blew us away with their professionalism, warmth, and attention to detail. Everything was perfectly organized—from the airport pick-up to the daily game drives. Our guide was not only incredibly knowledgeable but also made the trip so much fun with his stories and great energy.
We visited several parks and saw everything from elephants crossing the road to a pride of lions lounging under the trees. Every day brought something new and exciting. The lodges were beautiful and well-selected, offering the perfect balance of comfort and nature.
Bringing my friends along made it even more special, and we were all so impressed by how well everything was handled. African Savannah Trekkers truly goes above and beyond. I’m so glad I came back—and if you’re thinking about doing a safari, don’t hesitate to book with them. You won’t regret it!

Amazing
We had an amazing 4-day safari with African Savannah Trekkers! Everything was perfectly organized – from the selection of accommodations to the choice of national parks, the variety of wildlife, and the delicious food.
Our guide, Eli, was outstanding! He was incredibly knowledgeable, experienced, and always made sure we had the best possible safari experience. Thanks to him, we saw an incredible range of animals, from the Big Five to rare birds, all in breathtaking landscapes.
The entire trip exceeded our expectations, and we highly recommend African Savannah Trekkers, especially Eli. If you’re looking for an unforgettable safari, this is the company to go with!

Elisante is a wonderful driver and guide.
In August of 2024, I had the privilege of being on safari in Tanzania with Elisante with a different group as one of our drivers though he clearly could have been guiding the trip. He has an extensive knowledge of the animals and region which he freely shares with everyone. He has a very pleasant and happy personality. He was very easy to work with and clearly puts our needs as a priority doing everything he could to make every aspect of our trip as easy and fun as possible. He definitely knows how to speak to hippos and make them want to come your way for a closer look. I would highly recommend working with him as a guide or in any other capacity on safari.
